What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a violation of the federal lead paint standard, which poses a risk of harm to children, but the source explicitly states that no injuries have been reported.

Plain-English summary
